I found an other way to combine 2-stoke outboards with better environment.
Acrylate fuel with biodegradable oil. The cost increases of couse.
The acrylate costs 65% more here in Sweden but this is a direct soulution.
Any experience of acrylate fuel out there?

It's still a fuel. Burning any fuel releases carbon dioxide and water vapour. As a friend said many times, you can't change the laws of physics (in this case, chemistry)... The problem isn't the type of fuels we're burning, it's that we are burning them at all.

I'm not saying that we should all just stop using electricity or driving cars (that's just not practical), I'm saying that using alternatives thinking it's better is false, it changes nothing...

At $25 a quart, or between $35 and $90 a gallon depending on vendor, my next outing would cost me a weeks wages.

2-strokes do not do well with E85 or any high alcohol fuel without a really expensive fuel system and a lot of tuning

if you want to save the environment with an old 2-stroke, either buy a really really good 2-stroke oil to reduce sludge build up in your exhaust (unburnt fuel and oil), or go with a 4-stroke. to get greener than that requires oars, a sail, or you get out and push

Tanks for your views to my odd questions. The tip about better 2-stroke oil
is a step forward. If I buy a 4-stroke here in Sweden they steel it in a week.
